Sharing Settings
When you open the page, the ActivationShare tab will be displayed by default. To allow your users to receive their photos via QR code, you need to enable the Enable QR Code option.
If the Enable Gallery option is enabled, scanning the QR code of any photo will allow users to access all photos within that event. Please use this option with caution.
When you navigate to the Email tab, you can enable the email sending feature.
In the Email Settings section, enter the email address and credentials that will be used for sending emails. All Email Settings fields must be filled out correctly for the email system to work properly.
- Sender Email Address: Enter the email address you want to use for sending emails.
- Sender Email Password: Enter the app password associated with the email address provided in the Sender Email Address field.
The software is configured with Gmail settings by default. It is recommended to use a Gmail account. If you wish to use other email providers such as Hotmail, Outlook, or Yandex, you will need to update the Sender Server and Sender Port fields according to your email provider's settings.
If you are using a Gmail account, you must first generate an App Password. Please follow the steps below to complete it.
